  1. The VAR should be reviewing the game and all the major instances of the game as they happen. As of when an incident occurs they should make the decision no need for the referee to go and watch a replay on a tv screen

  2. Does Eprosoke Training Program really work? I notice many people keep on talking about Eprosoke Training Program. But I'm uncertain if it is good enough to increase your soccer technique.

  3. I think the best way to increase the efficiency of this review is to NOT have the Referee run over to the sidelines. Just have the VAR tell him the correction from the booth.

  4. Thinking that this will be implemented in football(soccer) is just absurd. Personally, this is just waste of precious time for the ref to keep on going out of the field to check out the replay. Just leave the game the way it is, it's perfect.
    I think this is a method not even the BPL or la Liga will ever use in their games.

  5. Takes WAAAAYYYYYYYY too long, just have the 4th official be in control of the video and making that call. Don't have the center ref run all the way to the computers to make a call anyone could spot. Otherwise, it completely throws off the flow of the game

  6. They should have a fifth ref that's job is to watch the game from the monitors, and quickly makes the decision instead of having the main ref come off, just to make it quick. Then, it should be fine.

  7. Honestly, they should just add a fifth and sixth referee for each of the goals on the pitch. Just have them stand next to them, they can tell if it crossed the goal line, handball in the box etc… The instant replay taken from basketball just makes the game slower and drags it out. Part of the reason why football is great to watch is because its 90 minutes of continuous action.

  8. its not good for the MLS, maybe good because it is used to catch cheats and make correct decisions. But when the USA goes to international matches, only goal line technology is available. so hopfully they dont get too used to it, it doesnt happen in international football

  9. DO NOT PUT IN VIDEO REPLAYS, this is an American concept and only amber can sports do. It takes away from flow of the game, all they need are more consistent refs, this will ruin it.

  10. Bring it out on a drone. The video that is. Have the ref wear a tracking band which the drone can come out to and hover when necessary. Have the I pad come down on an "arm" (for safety measures do not want the drone so close). Someone make it happen.
